Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In lieu of celebrating the end of the school year, I would like for my students to experience an ultimate glow party celebration. My class is filled with students from a variety of backgrounds and culture differences, and it would be awesome to celebrate everyone without restrictions.

We are nearing the brink of the school year, and nothing would be better than a GLOW DAY to celebrate our successful school year.

Our magnificent kindergarteners have worked hard all year and I want them to see and feel the true meaning of hard work pays off. I am requesting blacklights, balloons, reflective vests, slinkys, and all of the things for a successful glow party. Your kindness and support would be greatly appreciated.
